Guanajuato Photo Diary

Of the many places I've travelled to around the world, Guanajuato will always be my favourite. It is unlike any other place I've been to and trust me, the photos don't do it justice. I'm obsessed with all the beautiful bright colours in Mexico and this little city takes colour to a whole new level. They're definitely not afraid of a coloured house in Guanajuato, or a coloured anything for that matter. With all those hues, it's hard not to feel happy all the time! 

My favourite thing about this city is the way the houses can be seen from a distance, sitting on the hills, each painted a different colour and built right next to each other. It's so pretty to look at and makes me wish I had a pretty pink house to call my own amongst what could be called a colour explosion. 

Unfortunately I didn't get much of a chance to get out in Mexico as I was focused on training and competition, but I did manage to go downtown to the local markets one afternoon. It wasn't as busy as it had been when I was there a few years ago, but it was still relatively lively and just as colourful as I remembered it. Most of these photos were taken from the markets. Everything about that place was incredibly vibrant and I bet anyone would have a hard time finding anything black or white in there (except for me, who ironically chose to wear black and white that day). 

Well these photos are a far cry from Sydney's autumn which I have sadly returned to, but at least the weather has been really warm for this time of year. I'm glad to have the opportunity to ease back into the cold weather. But on a positive note, seeing as tomorrow is the first day of winter, yay for outerwear and rugging up!

Denim Days

I love denim. It's perfect all year round in the form of shorts, skirts, shirts and jeans. I've never really experimented with the whole denim on denim thing though and this outfit is probably the closest to double denim that I'll ever get. I really like this denim duo because the shorts are white, creating a much needed contrast between the two denim colours because I'm not adventurous enough to wear two blue denim items together. This is a classic relaxed summer outfit and an example of comfort at it's best! 

Apologies for the frown on my face in some of these photos. I left my sunglasses at home...I won't be forgetting them again anytime soon!

Plaid and Simple

I'm loving plaid shirts at the moment. They're so easy to throw over an outfit to add a bit of colour, comfort and even conservativeness when it comes to crop tops. Denim shorts are also a summer favourite of mine. In between beach days and trips to the shops (mostly for groceries but who needs to know), I live in denim cutoffs and generally some form of a crop top. Most of the time I throw my plaid shirts over the top of an outfit but I've also seen many people wear them done up and tucked into their shorts or skirts, which also looks really good. I haven't worn boots much at all lately given the heat but I thought they would add a nice edge to this outfit.
